The Art Newspaper: Scotland Yard joins global crackdown on looted pharaonic antiquities. “Scotland Yard is working with the British Museum and the governments of Egypt and Sudan to tackle the looting of pharaonic antiquities. The plan is to create a publicly available database of 80,000 objects that have been identified as having passed through the trade or have been in private collections since 1970, the year of the Unesco convention on cultural property. The scheme is being funded with a £1m grant from the British government’s Cultural Protection Fund, administered by the British Council.”

The ResearchBuzz Firehose is regular RB content divvied up into individual posts, with a bit more commentary than the regular RB. There will also be additional resources that I think are too narrowly-focused or just not on for ResearchBuzz. If you're interested in digest-type posts just a couple of times a day, please visit ResearchBuzz.
